Erosion rates within the small catchment of an endorheic basin located in the upper Fremridalur (NE-Iceland) were quantified using a combination of borehole data, tephrochronology, terrestrial LiDAR and GIS techniques. Despite the great distance of the study area to the volcanic centers active durin...
